Tell Congress: Investigate Trump’s White House UFC Stunt

Donald Trump is turning the White House lawn into a cage-fighting arena — and Congress needs to find out who is cashing in.

Crews are already building an octagon-shaped cage on the South Lawn for a UFC event tied to America’s 250th anniversary and Trump’s 80th birthday. Trump himself bragged about plans for a 4,500-seat arena near the White House’s main public-facing grounds, plus a massive fan event on the Ellipse for tens of thousands more people.

The tickets may be free, and UFC claims they're footing the bill — but sponsorship packages with ringside seats have reportedly sold for $1 million or more. No one seems to know where that money is going.

The White House belongs to the American people. It is not Trump’s personal party palace, campaign prop, or UFC backdrop.

At a time when Americans are being told there is no money for healthcare, housing, food aid, or schools, Trump has prioritized flashy personal projects — from a new ballroom and Rose Garden redesign to monument-style construction plans — and now he’s adding a UFC cage fight on the White House lawn.

It's a public-accountability scandal staged for television, and Congress must investigate.

Congress has the power to subpoena records, hold public hearings, demand testimony, and force the Trump administration to reveal who approved this event, who gets access, who profits, and what taxpayers are being forced to cover.

Thanks for all that you do,
